I heard this song for the first time last year and fell in love with it. Today I got this YouTube link. And a message from Laura that I echo: "Take a moment to listen & watch to this song; it is absolutely beautiful--a true reminder of what we are about to celebrate. I love you all! Merry Christmas!"
| Artist: Andrew Peterson lyrics Album: Behold The Lamb Of God Year: 2004 Title: Labor Of Love lyrics |
It was not a silent night
There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry
In the alleyways that night
On the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean
And the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
Had no mother's hand to hold
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph at her side
Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found
In the streets of David's town
In the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb
He was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the faith
That could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love
